“Had my low mileage/ perfectly maintained Jeep in for service. They performed the n23 recall because of a faulty chip that causes the transfer case to go into neutral and roll away. A week or so after having this performed I went to lock my Jeep into 4wd low and my service 4wd message appears. Is reading the same code everyone else with this problem is having after having the n23 recall performed. 4wd low worked flawlessly when I used it the week before taking it into the dealer. …”

I have spent over $2,100 in repairs, fixes, and replacements. …”

After completing the recall, which reprogrammed the final drive controller module, I left the dealership and discovered that my vehicle could no longer enter 4 wheel drive low and receives a service 4wd system light.

NHTSA complaint #10733506, filed 2015-07, 70,000 miles“Numerous times I've been driving and my car has lost power and I've had to restart the engine. Sometimes it takes a while for my car to start on the first turn of the key. The start gets dragged on. Sometimes all my check engine lights come on with every other lights as well. Several times I have to wait then start the car and it will turn on. Besides the car completely turning off while I'm driving, now my car won't turn on at all. The battery is fine. Radio and everything turns on. But the ignition won't click over and start my car. So, now I am with no car for work. …”
